Need a coil...which one? Putting my 96 motor in a 95 car so I'm going to be needing a 95 coil. From what I understand I can use the same ICM but I need a different coil.
I was thinking of buying an aftermarket coil but it seems like every coil has a substantial failure rate.
Is the best option to buy a GM coil? A new GM coil will run me quite a bit more than an aftermarket coil and will take longer for me to receive it.
I can also buy a used one, but likely with high mileage. Do GM coils usually fail at high mileage?
What have your experiences been?

MSD Blaster seems to be popular.
Has anyone had a failure with a MSD Blaster? I have no problem paying the extra scratch and waiting longer for a new AC Delco piece if its failure rate is that much lower. My car is only a bolt on daily driver.
